“Mary Klein cannot be found by looking. You will see her in time.”
“Based on a true story” is a favorite of writers and Hollywood executives alike. It can be taken verbatim or tweaked and can live in many genres. When myth crosses over into real events, it can be difficult to discern what the focus of a property should be upon. The writer of The Mothman Prophecies was called and consulted about the book he wrote over 20 years after it was published, and he seems to really enjoy it. His account, at least in his eyes, is a very real and frightening story that happened to a people and its town...

With a long and successful career spanning genres, Mia Farrow may not be considered a horror icon, but she’s certainly deserving of the title in terms of quality over quantity. The two genre efforts in which she starred are exemplary horror movies of their respective eras; while Rosemary’s Baby has been widely lauded since its release in 1968 (Roman Polanski’s personal life controversies notwithstanding), The Haunting of Julia – known internationally as Full Circle – is a hidden gem ripe for rediscovery.
Based on Peter Straub’s 1975 novel Julia, the 1977 British film is directed by Richard Loncraine and written by Dave Humphries (Quadrophenia), with Xtro filmmaker Harry Bromley Davenport receiving a “based on an adaptation by” credit. Although ostensibly a haunted house tale, its ambiguity also allows it to be viewed as a dramatic character study. Scream Factory shines a well-needed light on the atmospheric chiller with a new 4K Uhd + Blu-ray edition.

Part of a perfect 1956 matinee double bill, Alex Gordon’s supernatural thriller features an iconic monster, a piece of real horror art from monster-maker Paul Blaisdell. The production can best be described as ‘pedestrian’ but there’s no denying that the movie is an odd nostalgic favorite — a great poster helps. The cast mixes veterans with new blood — but the real reason to watch is starlet Marla English. This one should have been a classic.

This Friday, April 29th, IFC Midnight is releasing Hanna Bergholm’s Hatching, a wildly ambitious creature feature centered around the horrors of adolescence, into theaters (it will make its debut on digital platforms on May 17th). In the film, a young girl named Tinja (Siiri Solalinna) decides to take care of a mysterious egg she finds one night, raising the twisted monstrosity in secret. Tinja’s best efforts to care for her new friend—whom she names Alli—prove to not be enough once the animal begins to wreak havoc on her life, leaving the young girl unable to contend with Alli’s increasingly dangerous behaviors.
Recently, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Gustav Hoegen, the animatronic designer and creature FX supervisor behind Alli about his experiences working on Hatching and collaborating with Bergholm on the project. Hoegen discussed how he approached the creation of Alli, the challenges...

They’re after you, and your wives and children! This Corman/VeSota/Ed Nelson shocker with the excellent poster is a Robert Heinlein knockoff that can’t quite sustain the paranoid pitch of other ‘parasitic possession’ sci-fi horror epics. One of the cheapest of the drive-in cheapies, it remains a must-see title just for the audacity of its ad campaign, and a random moment or two of spooky serendipity. Don’t get your hopes up if you’re coming to see Leonard Nimoy’s performance — unless his voice is enough to satisfy.

Hello, dear readers! Before those of us in the States get ready to gobble down our Thanksgiving dinners later this week, we have a brand new batch of horror and sci-fi home entertainment releases to look forward to first. One of this writer’s favorite films of all time, Philip Kaufman’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is getting the 4K treatment from Kino Lorber this Tuesday, and Arrow Video is resurrecting both The Snake Girl and the Silver Haired Witch and Phantom of the Mall: Eric’s Revenge on Blu-ray as well (this is also very exciting news in my world). Arrow is also re-releasing a handful of other titles—The Cat O’ Nine Tails, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, and C.H.U.D.—and the first season of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery is headed to Blu-ray as well.

The twist on the latest Twilight Zone will remind longtime sci-fi TV fans of Torchwood and Star Trek, but will everyone like it?
This Twilight Zone review contains spoilers.
The Twilight Zone Episode 7
Watching the newest episode of The Twilight Zone— “Not All Men” — it will be impossible for a viewer not to associate the subject matter with the #MeToo movement. The evil that men do, and the evil that lurk in their hearts is something that isn’t just a science fiction premise; it’s a fairly obvious mirror for the real-world, too. That said, there’s something in this outing to the Zone that feels like it needed a smile from Captain Jack from Torchwood or even a touch of Captain Kirk from the original Star Trek.

Electric Dreams returns with a familiar story revised for the modern, therapy age. Spoilers ahead…
This review contains spoilers for The Father Thing and previous episode, Human Is.
See related Why Alex Kidd is better than Mario 80s and 90s videogames that lost their anime and manga licenses
Leaving an almost four-month gap between Electric Dreams’ previous episode and this story was an unwittingly judicious move by Channel 4. Not only would it have felt clumsy to show two alien-possession stories back-to-back, the relative complexity of the first—in which the alien invader turns out to be preferable to the human it imitates—would have emphasised a lack of the same in the second. With a good chunk of air between them, it’s easier to view The Father Thing on its own merits.

For a creature that is not inherently scary, the common slug sure has menaced a lot of horror movies. From Night of the Creeps to Slither to The Puppet Masters, the slimy little mollusks have played the villain on screen again and again. But it is only Juan Piquer Simón’s 1988 film Slugs (aka Slugs, muerte viscosa) that gives them top billing. Of all the slug horror movies, this one is the sluggiest.
Slugs is also trashy, gory nonsense, which is to be expected from the director of Pieces, one of the most insane slasher movies ever made. While Slugs lacks the inspired lunacy of Pieces, it’s not for lack of trying. The film stars Michael Garfield as Mike Brady (that’s right), a worker with the health department who suspects that a recent rash of gruesome deaths are the result of a new strain of slug that has...

After a man opens his life up to a pair of indie filmmakers, Actor Martinez cunningly navigates between documentary and narrative to question its star’s true nature, as well as the concept of self-presentation in life as well as film. Arthur Martinez first appears in Nathan Silver and Mike Ott’s new film as the subject, but through the co-directors’ persistent manipulation, Arthur seems increasingly at the whim of this fascinating, perplexing film experiment.
From the opening frame, co-directors Ott and Silver appear on-screen to interrogate Arthur. They’re out of focus and their voices are laid on top of the opening shot in a way that alludes to their influence on the rest of this film; though Ott and Silver won’t always be visible, their presence adds a layer of subjectivity to any character’s portrayal. Mostly, that character is Arthur.

The course of film production seldom runs smooth, and even the greatest films can suffer from all sorts of behind-the-scenes problems. For a very recent example, just look at Fantastic Four, a film with which suffered the kind of difficult production that will no doubt inspire books on the subject in the near future.
At any rate, the movies on this list are all examples of strange (and sometimes last-minute) changes, often imposed by producers or executives. In some unfortunate cases, the changes haven't been particularly beneficial, but one alteration turned out to be a pioneering moment in cinema history.

Keeping one of its most lucrative directors in-house, Fox has set X-Men: Days of Future Past helmer Bryan Singer to tackle an adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein’s sci-fi classic The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, to be titled Uprising.
Arrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim has come aboard to adapt the book, which centers on a lunar colony’s revolt against rulers stationed back on Earth, echoing the historical conflict between the United States and the British Empire. It was nominated for the 1966 Nebula Award, honoring the best American writing in fantasy and science fiction, and won the Hugo Award for best science fiction novel in 1967.
Two previous attempts to adapt Heinlein’s novel – one at DreamWorks with a script by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, and another by Phoenix Pictures involving Harry Potter producer David Heyman – failed, with the rights reverting to the author’s estate.

Heinlein’s science-fiction tome The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.Marc Guggenheim, best known at the moment for working on shows such as Arrow and The Flash, will write the script drawn from Heinlein’s 1966 novel.The plot finds a lunar colony deciding that it really doesn’t want to be ruled by Earth and the political/military fallout that comes with the choice to revolt. Heinlein was nominated for the Nebula award and took home the Hugo Award for best science fiction novel in 1967.And given how popular his work has been as fodder for screen adaptations – think The Puppet Masters and Starship Troopers – this is a...

We take a look back at the geek movies that have hinted at sequels that were never made, and we'd really like to see...
Nb: The following contains inevitable spoilers. If you haven't seen a film in a particular entry, feel free to skip to the next one.
In some cases, it comes as a relief when a threatened sequel fails to materialise. The end of the infamous Mac And Me, for example, sees its family of cretinous aliens drive off in a pink Cadillac, a speech bubble chillingly telling us, "We'll be back!" Thankfully, Mac And Me 2 has yet to materialise, despite the original film's near-legendary status.
Every so often, though, we'll come across a movie that strongly hints at more adventures to come, but for a variety of reasons - usually financial ones - the sequel never got made. To illustrate this,...

Ron checks out the first episode of Starz's newest historical adventure series, Da Vinci's Demons...
When looking to launch a new television series of any sort, the first thing you need to have is a protagonist that people are interested in. In the case of Da Vinci's Demons, a swaggering co-production of the Starz Network in the United States and BBC Worldwide, that box is checked but good. Indeed, the centerpiece of Da Vinci's Demons is Leonardo Da Vinci, one of history's most fascinating characters, albeit not one known for sexcapades and intrigues.
In the real world, Da Vinci was a true Renaissance man before the term was invented, a polymath who excelled at engineering, painting, sculpting, architecture, philosophy, mathematics, music, anatomy, geology, cartography, botany, writing, and pretty much any other pursuit he put his considerable mind towards conquering. He shares these traits with the fictional Da Vinci,...

A Priest, A Rabbi and Your Mom Walk Into a Movie Theatre…
You might think that your Mom disapproves of all horror films on principle. At least that’s the stereotype: the wagging finger; the warning that horror films cause nightmares. But the truth is that this is merely a bit of parental judo, reverse psychology designed to push us to watching horror films, because nothing warns us and upholds the moral order like a horror film.
What are the elements of a horror film after all? There is a monster; there is a sense of danger (as critic Joe Bob Briggs puts it “Anyone can die at any time”); the deaths are usually gruesome; and there is usually a moral. If you think about it, fairy tales and horror films are not that far apart – they are even closer to one another in the fairy tales original Grimm-er forms,...

Next to Tremors, I personally believe Deep Rising is one of the best monster movies to come out of the '90s.
Released in January (considered prime dumping grounds for films a studio didn't know what to do with) of 1998, the film stars Treat Williams, Famke Janssen and the creature design work of Rob Bottin.
Oh, and it was an early Stephen Sommers film - y'know, the guy who gave us The Mummy reboot and Van Helsing.
After directing films like 1993's The Adventures of Huck Finn and '94's The Jungle Book, Sommers needed to exercise his love for monster flicks and so he penned Deep Rising. It's clever, it's gruesome and it's prime "Treat Williams." All in all, great stuff.
And it's coming to Blu-ray courtesy of Mill Creek Entertainment on October 9th. Sadly, no bonus features are coming with this presentation, but it is being packaged with the serviceable The Puppet Masters.

Alex Proyas Lines Up Adaptation Of Robert A. Heinlein's 'The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag'
Big-screen adaptations of Robert A. Heinlein's books haven't had a great history. The two most notable entries -- "Starship Troopers" and "The Puppet Masters" -- deviated heavily from the source material (as fun as the former movie was) leaving fans wanting for a more faithful big screen incarnation of his work. And well, they are getting another shot.
After a rough year which saw "Paradise Lost" fall apart and "Dracula Year Zero" get set up at another studio with a new director, Alex Proyas ("Dark City") is dusting himself off and tackling "The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag." We haven't read this one, but it sounds like a mix between "Total Recall" and "Memento" (go ahead marketing department, use that one) with the story following the title character, who is struck one evening with the realization that he has no memory of what he does during the day. Distraught over his predicament,...

We continue our journey through a month of frightening, bloody and violent films. For more, check out our 31 Days of Horror homepage. Synopsis: A small town becomes ground zero to an alien invasion, which reaches Earth in the form of alien slugs on a chunk of space rock. After the meteor lands in the woods, a local big shot Grant Grant (Michael Rooker) becomes infected with the alien parasite, which controls his body and memories. It’s a story we’ve seen many times before, and understandably so. Director James Gunn creates a loving homage to movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Blob and Night of the Creeps, in which the small-town sheriff Bill Pardy (Nathan Fillion) must battle an onslaught of infected, zombified humans while trying to stop the spread of the parasite to the rest of the world. Helping the sheriff is his long-time crush and girl next door Starla (Elizabeth Banks), who...

Donald Sutherland has officially been cast in the film adaptation of The Hunger Games as President Snow, the ruler of Panem. Lionsgate announced Sutherland’s casting in a press release this morning. Although Snow mostly lurks around the outskirts of the first volume of Games, he is unquestionably the series’ main puppet master (and hey, Sutherland starred in a film called The Puppet Masters!) A quietly malevolent figure who is shrouded in secrecy, Snow was described in the books as a thin and unassumingly small man — which aren’t quite the words that come to mind when you consider the 6’4” Sutherland.

Not every movie can be a hit, and some blockbusters offer far more than their big budget and failure to dominate the box office might suggest. Here's our look at ten fascinating failures...
There are blockbuster movies that fail for good reason. Jonah Hex, Town & Country, Catwoman - they deserved their fate, really. In fact, there are films that made bucketloads of cash that didn't deserve their success, too. You can probably name a few of them quite easily.
But what we're interested in here are the blockbuster movies that struggled to make an impact, yet have something about them that makes them worthy of discussion many, many years later. Some of the films we're about to discuss are outright box office flops. Some simply didn't meet commercial expectations. All of them, to some degree, disappointed the studios that backed them.
Some of these aren't, all in honesty, particularly good.

You may not realize that Twilight author Stephenie Meyer wrote another novel that sounds far crazier than her sparkly vampire series, but The Host is exactly that novel. The 2008 tale seems like a riff on Heinlein's The Puppet Masters (and several other stories) as it describes altruistic alien parasites called Souls (seriously) that attach themselves to host bodies -- in this case humans -- and then make their society all great and stuff. Imagine the monolith from 2001, but far more active, and you're probably on the right track. The book was optioned some time ago and has been developed [1] as an indie with Stephenie Meyer offering a lot of input. Scripting is Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Now). He was once set to direct, and likely will in fact make the film. When he does, it looks like he'll have Saoirse Ronan in the central role of a girl who rejects the...

Imagine my surprise when I perused the back logs of Pajiba to find that no one had written a review of Starship Troopers. Considering how many people talk about it I assumed it would almost have a place of honor. Whenever a great B-movie is mentioned, whenever someone wants to compare crap = awesome, Starship Troopers is one of those movies that earns it's place. Would you like to know more?
Released in 1997 the film, directed by Paul Verhoeven (Total Recall , RoboCop, Showgirls), still holds up quite well. It retains it's quotable lines ("Mobile infantry made me the man I am today."), the graphics are actually still worth a shit (surprisingly), and the fresh cast put a lot of energy into it. I've never read the novel on which it is based (the screenplay was by Edward Neumeier who created RoboCop), written by Robert A. Heinlein, but my father had. When...

Charlize Theron is dating a farmer. The Oscar-winning actress, who has been single since splitting from long-term love Stuart Townsend in January 2010, has reportedly started dating model-and-actor Eric Thal who owns a farm in New York.
A friend of Eric told Life & Style magazine, "The two have a lot in common. He's a farmer who grows all his own vegetables and Charlize grew up on a farm in South Africa. The two like to escape Hollywood and go to his farm in upstate New York."
Eric, 45, has starred opposite Will Smith in "Six Degrees of Separation" and played Donald Sutherland's disaffected son in 1994 science-fiction film "The Puppet Masters".
Charlize, 35, dated "Superhero Movie" actor Craig Bierko and Third Eye Blind lead singer Stephan Jenkins before embarking on a nine-year relationship with Stuart.
While the pair never married, Stuart often spoke about how he considered Charlize his wife. He said, "I...

Robert Heinlein’s “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” is coming to a big screen near you, courtesy of producer Harry Kloor. The story, originally serialized back in 1958, tells the story of a teenager who loses a contest for a free trip to the Moon, but wins a broken-down space suit — which contains properties that lead to humanity’s first contact with aliens. Kloor will develop the film through Gotham Group, who also have “The Spiderwick Chronicles” and “Abduction” with Taylor Lautner on the docket. “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” won’t be the first Heinlein story to get the big screen treatment. The acclaimed sci-fi writer’s “Starship Troopers” was adapted into a movie of the same name in 1997, and before that, there was the little appreciated 1994 movie “The Puppet Masters”.

20th Century Fox has renewed Ralph Winter's production deal into 2008. The first-look deal began in July 2001, after the producer completed the original X-Men for the studio.
The native Californian is in production on Fox's sequel to Fantastic Four with director Tim Story. The film, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," is slated for a June release.
Winter has been a part of Fox's successful run of science-fiction films including all three of the X-Men films, which have grossed more than $600 million in domestic boxoffice; 2001's Planet of the Apes remake; and last year's Fantastic Four, which collected about $155 million domestically.
Before Fox, Winter was at the Walt Disney Co., where he produced the remake of Mighty Joe Young and Inspector Gadget. His production credits include the indie film Hackers, Hocus Pocus and The Puppet Masters. His television producing credits include episodes of Happy Days, "Laverne & Shirley" and "Mork & Mindy."
Winter is a graduate of UC Berkeley, where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in history. He is repped by ICM.

- Meat Ball Machine Co-directed by Yudai Yamaguchi and Junichi Yamamoto, Meatball Machine is low budget Japanese sci-fi with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Aliens have invaded earth with the sole desire to play a twisted “game” of fighting each other to the death and consuming the loser. Why Earth? Roughly the size of a tennis ball, these aliens want oversize human bodies to inhabit and transform into urban fighting machines. Mbm is an overt cross between Robert Heinlein’s seminal sci-fi novel The Puppet Masters, Shinya Tsukamoto’s mind-blowing Tetsuo films, and the WWF. If your not into any of those three, this film probably isn’t for you. Then again, the film’s final scene, a bizarre chiaroscuro conversation between two chillin’ aliens was worth the price of admission alone. Feeling somewhat overextended, Mbm rises slightly above it’s interesting but thin premise by incorporating a saccharine love
